A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations
The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.

An easy-to-use solution with great integration
It involves a lot of investment. The learning curve is not similar to other products, like K2. Regarding the user interface, I have to access workflows and define and manage the processes on the variant of a Windows application, which is not accessible if you don't have access from the client to install it on the workstation. And most of the solutions we're currently evaluating are web-based. Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing. It has lots of elements. It's not user-intuitive compared to other products. Other than that, the licensing model is our main concern.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The user interface is easy to use."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"It's very simple to use and the integration features between Java and other services within the workflow are very easy."
"Overall, it is a very good product as it is very stable, scalable, and most of the services that we are running using TIBCO are in the back end."
"The Conductor and Decision features of the product are the backbone of the product because it enables the user to create a custom ruleset which can be used to implement the order orchestration."
 

Cons

"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"The product has issues every now and then. While we can always say that the issues may be because of the improper implementation or due to hardware limitations, other similar products works quite well in the same environment."
"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The price could definitely be lower."
